Apple Inc. (AAPL), International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Intel Corporation (INTC): Ray Dalio Is Bullish on Tech Stocks

Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates has released its 13F filing for the second quarter, revealing an affinity for technology stocks. The investor’s equity portfolio is highly diversified, having more than 400 positions worth some $13.3 billion. In addition, it may seem that Dalio likes exchange-traded funds that track American and global indexes, which means that his portfolio is macro-oriented and less risky.  However, there are plenty of individual stocks as well, with most of them in tech and energy sector.
